State Juvenile Court Procedure For Federal Juvenile Offenders, Howard E. Wahrenbrock Nov 1931

State Juvenile Court Procedure For Federal Juvenile Offenders, Howard E. Wahrenbrock

Michigan Law Review

The Report on the Child Offender in the Federal System of Justice recommends the enactment of federal legislation which will provide means of utilizing the machinery of existing state juvenile courts where federal laws have been violated by children. The details of such legislation are not suggested in the Report. The legal questions to be encountered in the framing of such legislation call for careful consideration if full advantage is to be taken of the knowledge which the study made for the Commission furnishes. Some of the questions of more general interest will be taken as the subject of this …


Report On Criminal Procedure, Rollin M. Perkins Nov 1931

Report On Criminal Procedure, Rollin M. Perkins

Michigan Law Review

During the period of trial by battle such a proceeding served, in addition to its nominal purpose, something of the function which is now served by a World's Series ball game. From that time to this, the trial has been the spectacular aspect of the enforcement of justice in general and of criminal justice in particular. The result has been relative overemphasis upon criminal procedure in the strictly technical sense, and a corresponding neglect of the broader problems of administration. If, for instance, a conviction under a statute making it grand larceny to steal "a cow or animal of the …

Waiver Of Trial By Jury In Criminal Cases, S. Chesterfield Oppenheim May 1927

Waiver Of Trial By Jury In Criminal Cases, S. Chesterfield Oppenheim

Michigan Law Review

Waiver of jury trial in criminal cases generally is a highly practical issue at the present time both from the standpoint of the public and of the accused. The belief is common that the element of delay is one of the primary causes of the general disrespect attaching to the courts of criminal juridiction. It is said that an overzealousness in shielding the citizen against oppression and injustice has resulted in shifting to the background expedients designed to simplify and give momentum to the disposition of criminal cases.

Trial Practice--Duty Of The Court To Instruct The Jury In The Absence Of A Request For Instructions Jan 1925

Trial Practice--Duty Of The Court To Instruct The Jury In The Absence Of A Request For Instructions

Michigan Law Review

A series of cases recently decided in Georgia brings to mind the interesting question as to whether the court is bound to give instructions upon the law of the case in the absence of a specific request therefor. See Slocumb v. State, 157 Ga. 131; Fort v. State, 121 S. E. 128; Hatfield v. State, 121 S. E. 129; Walker v. State, 121 S. E. 130; Bul­lard v. State, 121 S. E. 130; Coney v. State, 121 S. E. 132, and Riggs v. State (1924) 121 S. E. 142. In none of these cases …


Injunction Against Execution Of Criminal Judgment Nov 1924

Injunction Against Execution Of Criminal Judgment

Michigan Law Review

Sometime in 1921 or 1922 one Ullah Mohammed, an Afghan, unable to speak or understand English, was convicted of murder in the first degree in the Sonoma county court, of California. The evidence showed that he entered deceased's bed-room, fired a shot-gun at him, clubbed him over the head, and then cut his throat with a razor. An appeal was taken on the instructions as to self-defense and was summarily overruled. People v. Mohammed, 189 Cal. 429. Later a bill was filed in the superior court of San Francisco for an injunction to prevent Mohammed's execution. It was alleged …


Constructive Contempt Of Court Feb 1924

Constructive Contempt Of Court

Michigan Law Review

The recent case of Craig v. Hecht (1923) 44 Sup. Ct. Rep. 103, aroused an extraordinary amount of interest among laymen, and involved some legal questions of importance to lawyers; but perhaps its most significant result was the opportunity it afforded the legal profession to observe the popular attitude of hostility toward certain phases of judicial administration which lawyers are habitually inclined to overlook.

Proposed Remedies In Court Procedure, Willis B. Perkins Mar 1914

Proposed Remedies In Court Procedure, Willis B. Perkins

Michigan Law Review

It is the judgment of the writer that the chief function of the legislature is to declare substantive rights. Court procedure being but the machinery by which substantive rights are determined, the responsibility for the effectiveness of that machinery should rest alone upon the courts. Unnecessary prolixity and confusion too frequently result from the present two-fold source of procedural law.

Prosecuting And District Attorneys, Henry M. Bates Jan 1909

Prosecuting And District Attorneys, Henry M. Bates

Book Chapters

Professor Bates defines his subject matter "Prosecuting and district attorneys are judicial officers of the state, within their respective districts, although not officers of the state at large. Under some statutes they are county officers, while under others they are not, but are circuit or district officers.... Like other attorneys, prosecuting and district attorneys are officers of the court; but they are not a part of the court because of their office." A two-page outline precedes the entry.
